The importance of resisting complexity

Let's end the week with a short, but important, tip: Keep your application simple.

Why do I say that? Because it is all too easy to let complexity slip into your application when it isn't justified.

I'll be honest, some of the things I share in these tips can have complexity in them.

This makes sense because these tips are pulled from real things I bump into building real-world applications for people.

Real-world apps often have complexity due to the business requirements they need to meet.

But, that doesn't mean you should start with complexity. Not even if you read an interesting tip from me, and it seems like it's a good idea.

Just take a pause and think about your situation, your application, your business requirements.

If it solves a real problem, then the complexity can be justified.

If not, keep it simple.
